Thomas & Friends Customs - TrackMaster Wilbert

Thomas & Friends Customs - TrackMaster Wilbert

Behind the scenes:

This is what I use to make my TrackMaster Wilbert
go backwards. It can work on any engines, too! Even
on custom made Thomas & Friends characters! 

How did I couple the trains this way?

By putting a small rubber band, of course!


How to make Wilbert:
                                          Use a spare TOMY/TrackMaster Percy (shown at the left)
                                          and a TOMY/TrackMaster Bill/Ben (shown at the right)

First, use a saw to cut off Percy's cab (Percy's green
cab shown at the right, with the number six) and use
Bill/Ben's boiler (Bill/Ben's yellow boiler is shown at 
the left) to attach to Percy's cab. But make sure the
boiler is the right length, so use a ruler. So the boiler
and the cab can fit on the footplate properly.

Also, glue the middle wheels between those two.
(As shown in this picture above)

                                     
And that's how you make a TOMY/TrackMaster Wilbert.
